This phenomenon of counter-revolutionary restoration exists at all levels, from top to
bottom, and deserves attention.

[1] This comment appeared in the 1332nd issue of "Express," published by the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of China's Cultural Revolution Group Office on February
25, 1967. This issue of "Express" contained a document titled "Who Did the Beijing Political
and Legal Commune Support in Tianjin's Xiaozhan Commune?" The document stated: "On
January 26, the Beijing Political and Legal Commune's Liaoyuan Long March Team supported
the 'Liaoyuan Red Combat Team,' composed of cadres removed from office during the Four
Cleanups Movement, in their attempt to seize the brigade seal in the Lazidi Brigade of
Tianjin's Xiaozhan Commune. From then on, all sorts of monsters and demons emerged to
launch a counterattack." On February 27, 1967, Chen Boda, head of the Central Committee
of the Communist Party of China's Cultural Revolution Group, submitted this issue of
"Express" to Mao Zedong, writing: "This is an example of capitalist restoration. The
revolutionary masses have asked reporters to report the situation to the Chairman. I am
sending you the document now; please take a look."
